Remasters have become staple releases during the current generation of consoles. There are some who say it’s time to forget the past and focus on new games. I, however, am onboard with remastered games, providing the upgrade is substantial enough to warrant a new release. Given the impressive performance leap of the upcoming PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, I want to list my top five candidates to receive the remaster treatment.
Mass Effect Trilogy
“It’s So Much Easier To See The World In Black And White. Grey? I Don’t Know What To Do With Grey...”
Mass Effect: Andromeda left a bad taste in the mouths of many, myself included. After mostly triumphant success with the original trilogy, Andromeda felt like a huge step backwards for the beloved series. The foundations of success laid by the trilogy are encapsulated by the aforementioned quote. The emotional turmoil, the relationships, the difficult decisions, these are the reasons why the original trilogy was so compelling.
Mass Effect stands as one of the greatest RPGs of all time. After the failures of Andromeda, the series is currently dormant. That’s why a remaster could not come at a better time. Spruce the original trilogy up with some pretty new graphics and so forth, and it’s surely a recipe for success. Further, a well-done remastered trilogy could bring some much-needed goodwill back to the Mass Effect series. Given the popularity of the series, a remastered trilogy has tremendous potential to sell well - which could help fund a new mainline instalment.
